Head mounted display system
First Claim
1. A head mounted display (HMD) apparatus, comprising:
- a frame wearable on a user'"'"'s head, and including a viewing area;
an imaging device positioned substantially in the center of the viewing area, the imaging devices being carried by the frame and configured to create dual images from light received from a light arrangement in conjunction with a display signal;
a left folded wedge display carried by the frame and positioned at the left of the viewing area, the left folded wedge display having a left expansion portion, a left display portion, and a left light receiving portion disposed at an angle from the left expansion portion, wherein the left light receiving portion is configured to receive left image of the dual images from the imaging device and to redirect the left image to the left expansion portion; and
a right folded wedge display carried by the frame and positioned at the right of the viewing area, the right folded wedge display having a right expansion portion, a right display portion, and a right light receiving portion disposed at an angle from the right expansion portion, wherein the right light receiving portion is configured to receive a right image of the dual images from the imaging device and to redirect the right image to the right expansion portion.

Abstract
A head mounted display system is disclosed. The head mounted display system includes a remote laser light engine that generates laser light associated with a display signal. The head mounted display system additionally includes a head mounted display apparatus that is separated from the laser light engine and comprising a display unit that displays laser images. The head mounted display system further includes an imaging device coupled between the remote laser light engine and the head mounted display apparatus. The imaging device creates laser images from the laser light transmitted through an optical cable in accordance with the display signal. The laser images are delivered to the display unit in order to create display images that can be viewed by a user of the head mounted display apparatus.
